Some people have treated "What Dreams May Come" with scorn due to Chris Nielsen's (Robin Williams) affirmations that he can do anything, even if it violates the laws of nature. I beg to differ. The movie shows how he blames himself for his wife Annie's (Annabella Sciorra) suicide, and feels compelled to rectify this.
Maybe some people thought that the movie was trying too hard to be like a painting but ended up a series of shots of Robin Williams trying to be emotional. Neither description would do the movie justice. This movie is not all about special effects. I think that it forces us to reconsider our own destinies, and what may become of everything after we die.
All in all, a really impressive movie. Also starring Cuba Gooding Jr and Max Von Sydow.
